Couple Marry on Mountain
Being on cloud nine for your wedding day is not normally taken literally but for one couple from Bridgewater in Southern Australia, they tried their best to get as high as they could when they got married on top of Aoraki Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand!
Gary Cook and Melinda Gaughwin decided on a venue in the Southern Alps and chose the Tasman Glacier as the location for their wedding ceremony. They were almost seven thousand feet in the air with temperatures of zero degrees when the couple said their vows, although the bride surprised her groom by singing her vows to him.
The couple who are both in their thirty’s completed the day with photographs, a hike around Hooker Valley and then a reception dinner at the Hermitage Hotel.
Tourist operators are saying that this type of wedding is becoming increasingly popular as more and more couples find new ways and locations to get married.
The couple commented that to them their wedding was more than they could have hoped and was just perfect!
